Oral Bacteria Testing
We know that oftentimes there are multiple factors that may cause changes in someone’s mouth. One of those factors could be the bacteria living in your mouth. At our Fayetteville dental office, we use clinical laboratory services from FIDA Labs Oral Saliva Testing to ensure we are giving our patients the best oral health information possible.
To provide a more diagnostic approach to oral care, we offer FIDA Labs Oral Saliva Testing—a sophisticated analysis that identifies active bacterial, viral, fungal, and yeast levels
within the mouth. Our standard comprehensive panel tests for 29 periodontal pathogens, 11 cariogenic pathogens, 10 candida species, and 7 herpes viruses, with the additional capability to screen for two high-risk HPV strains associated with oral cancer. This testing is essential for patients with persistent gum disease or those seeking to understand the "why" behind their oral health challenges. Because oral health is inextricably linked to systemic wellness, these results allow us to identify risks for over 50 systemic conditions, including Alzheimer’s, diabetes, heart disease, and complications during pregnancy. As a preferred referral destination for primary care physicians and fellow dentists in the region, we are proud to offer this deep-dive diagnostic tool that many other offices do not.
